Barrister Olusegun Bamgbose, National Coordinator, Concerned Advocates for Good Governance, CAGG, has told the Police Service Commission, PSC, that there
was nothing abnormal, out of place, strange or unlawful for the United States’ court to make an order for the arrest of a non-citizen of America.
Recall that the PSC had over the weekend said that it was strange that the United States Court could order the arrest of a non-citizen resident in Nigeria, saying that Nigeria is a sovereign state with its laws and justice systems which should be respected.The Commission further called on the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation to intervene in the issue and guide on what to do since the Commission is the legal body empowered to discipline erring police officers.
He explained that “the treaty applicable to Nigeria was signed on December 22, 1931, came to force on June 24, 1935. The relevant section as per the Abba Kyari case is Article 3 which has to do with bribery, defined to be the offering, giving, or receiving of bribes. Giving the second reason, he noted that there are certain circumstances in which the United States may apply domestic laws abroad. “In essence, the United States may give an extraterritorial effect involving certain specified cases which cover the present case,” he informed.
